Let’s just enjoy Wake. Unfortunately I don’t see how the D can even be a speed bump to Cuse’s offense. The one thing that can give me a little bit of hope is if the offense goes back to looking like it did before GT. If it does, we have a chance of beating Cuse in a shoot out. Would also be nice if the offense didn’t wait until the second half to show up.

I love Ward and man do i wish he was here for 2-3 more years.....but one thing that bothers me a tiny bit is how he seems so nonchalant in some early drives that we dont' execute in, which inevitably means we are playing from behind since we can't stop anyone. I hope we are awake from the jump. And i still think we should be running the ball a bit more.

Cam balls we roll

I mean they covered the spread regardless but it wasn’t a matter of them needing to score a bunch of late touchdowns to get the cover.

Yeah, you got what I meant. How many of us haven't lost a game where we were covering before all of a sudden 7-14 trash points are allowed at the end.

wake is near dead last in points allowed and qb percentage allowed. they give everything underneath and allow the easy stuff

can cam ward get the ball in play and hit the check downs? it will be there, and I hope he isn't trying to go kill shot every play

Last 5 ACC games…7 TDs/6 INTs for Kyle McCord

If Cam doesn’t get greedy and check out of the play we put 60 on a much better Duke team.
No reason we shouldn’t come out with a chip after the last game.
 
Alston, RRod and Brown all practicing this week and game time decisions. Man if we could get all 3 back that would be huge!

I saw one of the wildest stats I've ever seen in my life this morning on Wake.

Follow me here.

For the season, nationally, Wake Forest is third to last in the entire country in 10+ yard plays allowed. The only 2 worse are Kent State, who is one of the worst FBS teams in a long time, and Oklahoma State, who is 3-7. They are beyond bad in this metric.

HOWEVER, and again, this is INSANE, they are 5th in the entire country in 30+ yard plays allowed.

They have surrendered 180 plays of 10+ yards in 10 games. 18 times a game, they give up a 10+ yard gain. That is AWFUL.

But of those 180 plays, only NINE of them have gone for 30+ yards. That's almost as impressive as giving up the 180 in the first place.

What does this mean for us? Well, when the offense has had issues, one of the theories as to why is Cam is looking too much for a big play, and there are plays to be had underneath. Looks to me like that will be a big part of this game. The Wake defense clearly is designed to limit big plays at the expense of allowing smaller explosives. You can't get these numbers across 10 games by coincidence. I've never seen a disparity like this in my life. Normally, when you give up explosives, they're somewhat bad across the board. You're never the worst in the country at 10+ yard plays and best in the country at 30+ yard plays.

Will the offense understand this and "take what's given"? If we do, with how efficient we are, we can absolutely bludgeon this team with 15-20 yard plays right down the field, and pop a few bigger ones when they're there.

It’s simple. If they can replicate GT it’ll be a dog fight. If we have learned from that game then I think we run away with this. The GT plan doesn’t work if you’re down multiple scores
